Brian, Rvarley,
Brian, what color is your Miele C3?
I almost broke down before the holidays an got one of those British racing green special edition C3's for $399, or was it $499? At any rate, I didn't because it has no power nozzle connection.
Rvarely, that is correct. The Miele's follow close to you at all times.
One member said his entry level C1 frustrates him though, always tipping.
I think the price point of nearly double as in Europe may ne why we don't buy more of them here. It surely does not cost that much to install the 120 volt rectifier on the motor.
